I thought the consensus was SS > BvS> MOS ? Most of these reviews are saying it is mildly entertaining just bogged down by a mediocre script and little character development.

Those are a weird mix of trailers to play in front of a film like this. I would have thought Girl on The Train, Bridget Jones Baby, Keeping Up With the Joneses, etc

Everything will drop hard this weekend,except Bad Moms. Suicide Squad hasn't gotten older females on board. But the weekends after that should see some pretty good holds. Suicide Squad will have worse legs than GoTG.

I agree. Honestly, Sony didnt even announce officially that a trailer was going to be released this week. So if JLAW fans are upset, than that's their own fault.

If it does get moved to summer, I dont think theyll do May, did you forget about GOTG 2, another Chris Pratt vehicle? Since Bad Boys 3, WWZ 2 and Uncharted aren't making those June 2017 dates they could stick it anywhere during that month if they want. I think June 16 is the best option, counter-programming against Kingsman: The Golden Circle and Cars 3 (which isn't the most popular Pixar animation franchise anyway) and it's not too close to their other big movie Spiderman: Homecoming.

No other film besides SS is crossing 100m in August. The holdovers: Bourne, Pets, Bad Moms, and Star Trek should continue making coin well into September. Nine Lives-irrelevant. It'll be lucky to make 20m. I'll go with 17m. Pete's Dragon- doesn't have enough hype with kids, it's more like a drama/adventure flick and alot of schools will be re-opening. This will come the closest to 100m, but not really. I'm feeling a 80-85m run for it, so only a little bit better than The BFG. Sausage Party- limited audience b/c of the R-rating, and it's likely gonna be hurt by Suicide Squad. Im anticipating good reviews/WOM will carry it to a respectable, but not huge number. 60-65m Florence Foster Jenkins-It should find some type of senior audience, and Streep's track record for August is generally good, Ricki and the Flash was her first mis-step in awhile. Going with 46-47m since this one seems more appealing than Ricki to senior audiences. Ben-Hur-Gods of Egypt made 31m and Risen made 36m, that seems like the range for this one. Unless they try to change up the marketing to appeal to more evangelical audiences I dont see it going much higher. I'll predict 45m. Kubo and the Two Strings-Highest grossing Laika film is Coraline with 75m, this is probably even less appealing to American audiences. Sadly, i think it's going to be the lowest grossing Laika release to date. Ill predict 36m. War Dogs-This isn't a broad comedy and we;re getting into the dead zone of summer. It likely appeals to a limited mostly adult audience. Going with a range similar to Whiskey Tango Foxtrot(23m) and The Nice Guys(36m), so around 30m. Don't Breathe-Interesting concept, and horror has been doing well this year but again this is a dead spot. 25-26m Hands of Stone-If this was any good it wouldn't be opening at the end of August. I'll predict 23m, only because Robert De Niro is in it. Mechanic: Resurrection- Studios keep sticking these weird B-movie action flicks in August and i dont know why because they don't do well. 15m

What's going to have the biggest theater drop this weekend? Probably Ice Age: Collison Course right?

There wasn't an actual trailer being released today. Supposedly just an announcement that the trailer is coming.

I would cut them some slack in this case because they've been tied down with the legal issue. Im sure if they didn't have that problem, a trailer would have been out already. Also filming wrapped in January of this year, and with the vfx that they have to do, i wouldn't have expected it any earlier than June/July if things were normal.

It's a normal thing to do though. The films are both from the same studio. Besides like I said before, once the trailer is sent to theaters studios can only recommend that they play a trailer in front of a specific movie but ultimately the theaters get to decide.

I'm assuming that Sony will send it to theaters next week with sausage Party. Theaters can choose to play whatever trailers they want in front of their features once it's sent anyway.

WB still hasn't learned its lesson. This will clearly need overseas BO to make a profit.

Did Kevin Spacey lose a bet or something? I dont understand this movies' existence.

Yeah finding out what the placements are after Disney is a more interesting question. World War Z, Bad Boys 3 and Uncharted will move to 2018 so that decreases Sony and Paramount to potential haul.

I don't know why we need to debate this. Disney is ruling for the next few years. WB and Uni are the only ones who can compete.

They will probably do a BAD Moms 2 but looking at what's coming next. Edge of Seventeen- a teen comedy starring Hailee Stenfeld, who doesnt have a good track record, the best that's going to get is probably 5-6m OW and around 13-15m total. Desierto- a drama film about Mexian immigrants; Gael Garcia Bernal is a good actor but he's not a star. The best this can hope for is around 8-9m total for this. The Bye Bye Man- horror film so it could breakout depending on the marketing. Right now im going with 10m OW and 22m Total. The Space Between Us- a sci-fi/romance space drama. Audience will likely be limited because its competing with Passengers. 9m OW 30-35m Total only because of Christmas legs. If STX wants to stay in the game they should stick to make more mid-budget comedies with stars, and horror films. Dramas are risky nowadays unless you want to get into the Oscar game, where the box office results and awards season haul go almost hand in hand. Don't try to do too much or you'll end up like Relativity.

Yeah but we thought this would be a 100m+ breakout, it's looking more like 70-80m, which is still good but not outstanding.

Is BM that frontloaded? Damn.

I find it funny how Both Star Trek and Bourne are going to end up opening with around the same amount. Which one is going to have better legs?

60% drop? Yikes

comedy is Mila's sweet spot. Jupiter Ascending wasn't her thing, this is just proof that studios should put her in more comedy vehicles.

Yeah that was his romantic lead roots, making women swoon. Leo is defintiely a bigger draw than Denzel, i dont think that's even a question. I mean he at one point was the biggest movie star on the planet ( probably still is) when Titanic hit.

Zoolander isnt even a Ferrell vehicle, that's Ben Stiller who's track record is much more mixed. Daddy's Home, Get Hard and Anchorman 2 proves Ferrell still has pull.

No way. He's bigger internationally which puts him over those three.
